To4 all whom it may concer-n:-v 4 1 'Be itknown that I, EDGAR S'roNnnHnNesr,

` acitizen of the United States, and a resident Pennsylvania, haveinvented certainnew and useful Improvements in Self-Feeding Shad` ofHellam, in the county "of Yorkand State of i'ngPena-of which thefollowingisa'speci cation, reference beingA had to the accompanyingdrawings, forming -a part thereof, in

.which similar letters of-reference indicat corresponding parts'. g.This invention relates to self-feeding shadlng-pens; and the obj ectthereof is to providean improved deviceof this class which iS- simple inconstruction 'and operation, and which. 1s also comparativelyinexpensive,

f` while being perfectly adapted to accomplish the result for -whichitis intended.- The invention is fully disclosed in the fol-v lowingspeciication,.of lwhich the .accompa-4 nying drawings form a vpart-inwhich--.

Figure l is a central longitudinal section of my improved shading-penand the holder'or reservoir employed in connection therewith, and Fig.f2 a plan View thereof. In the practice of my invention l provideatnbular holder or reservoir A, which is of -the' usual form and whichis provided at one.' end with a removable cap or cover a, and theopposite end of which is closed bya plug a2,

.which extends longitudinally through .the

tubular holder or reservoir-, and the outer vend of the plug a2 isprovided with 'a socket a5, in 35 Whichis placed a pen-D, the inner .endof said pen being substantially cylindrical in form, and the plate .or,str ip'B is passedlo'ngitudinally through thepen, which. is prois 'alsothe passage vided -with a longitudinal passage d for this purpose, andthis passage. d is of such size, as through the plug az.- Thus the stripor plate B does not entirelyiill the' same, space being left over saidstrip or plate for theink tonow therethrough.

j The otite-rend. of thopen D 1 s shaped..as

shownin Figs. l and-2, theuppr and lower sides thereof being cut, awayat an'inclinaand in the operation .of the device the ink flows 'through'the lon gi tudinal passage d in the pen and out at the end thereof, fromwhich' the strip or. plate B proj e'cts,as .will be readily um derstod.l v l 4 The operation will be readily understood vfrom the foregoingdescription when taken in' connection with the accompanying drawings andthe following statement thereof.

The vholder or. reservoir A is illed withink inthe usual manner byremoving thecap a, and in operation the ink l,will flow around .thestrip or. plate B out through the longitudinal passage inthe plug a2 andthe pen D.

This device is simple in construction and 'operation and is 'perfectly'adapted to accoml plish .the result for which it is intended, and

the usual air-vent Eis formed yin the end ofthe holder or reservoirA,and' said air-.vent

may be uncovered, if desired, by slipping the '-cap a outwardly, oritmaybe closed by forc- .ing said cap or cover-thereover inthe usualmannen Itis-evident that changes in and modifica- I .tions of.the-construction herein described may Abe made without departing fromthe spirit of my invention or sacrificingits advantages, and l reservethe right to make' all snchfalterations therein as fairly come withinthe-scope of the invention.

Having fully` described my invention; I"

4claim as 'new and desire to secure by Letters The herein-describedself-feedn g and shad. ing pen, consisting of a reservoir A,ip rov1dedonone end with a removablecap a, .and thepassage being closed by'a pluglo?, a strip B mounted onsaid plug and extending intothe reservoirgtheouter-end ofsaid plug being.

provided with a socket as and a pen'Dadapted to .be secured insaidfsocket, said pen. having a longitudinal passage d', said strip Bbeing,

Iniestimonythat I claim the fo'iegoingjas my invention I havesigned'myname', in pres= ence ofthe subscribing witnesses, this 15th v day ofApril, 1806. j.
